Terracotta Warriors (Collage) – Xi’an, China


It was difficult to photo a true perspective of the clay warriors. I've combined a few photos to form this collage. What I found most amazing about the warriors is the fact that they weren't discovered until 1974. Farmers have been farming the land over these warriors for almost 2200 years, unbeknownst to them the artifacts below. It makes you wonder what other historical artifacts have yet to be uncovered from ancient civilizations. What is also astonishing, at least to me, is that this civilization (more or less) existed during the time of Abraham, Christ and Mohammad. I haven't done any detailed research, but my guess is that these guys didn't even know this civilization existed and they were able to create the three great monotheistic religions without acknowlegding these other civilization, such as this one in China. Why did God only speak to these guys in the Middle East and not China?
